Event Details

Overview

For many GIS projects, there is a simplified way to accomplish a task, as well as a more advanced approach for completing the same task. Now that you’re comfortable with the basic functionality of ArcGIS, you may be looking for some more advanced methods of accomplishing your goals. Maybe you want to set some restrictions on your datasets to make sure the appropriate attribute values are always used, or to ensure that there are never gaps between parcel boundaries. Maybe you want to make more permanent connections between datasets and tables. Or perhaps you’d like to tie events, such as a set of bus stops, along line features with automated ease. These advanced operations are often overlooked, but can greatly enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of GIS.

Audience

This class is for those who are already comfortable with the basics of ArcGIS and want to learn more about working with the enhanced functionality of geodatabases in ArcGIS.

Topics Covered

Day 1

The File Geodatabase—A quick overview of the features and functions available within the file geodatabase.

Linear Referencing—See multiple events along a line, such as potholes or bus stops, and see how attributes, such as pavement quality or speed limit, change along portions of the same line.

Linear referencing defined

Events

Hatching

Geometric Networks—Connect points and lines into a network that helps you see how features are connected, display flow along the networks, and detect how potential problems will affect conditions down the line.

What You Will Receive

Use of a student PC while in class, with appropriate GIS software and access to training data.

A TeachMeGIS student workbook (to keep) which includes the lecture slides, exercises, and a DVD of the training data.

Upon completion, a signed completion certificate which will indicate the CEUs (1.5) and GISCI points (0.375) earned.

KCGIS Center’s 30 for 30 Support—30 minutes of one-on-one instructor phone within 30 days after class completion. This is our commitment to you to help ensure that you can apply your new GIS skills successfully.

Our Students Speak

“I really enjoyed learning about subtypes, linear referencing, and relationship classes. I hadn't spent much time on these topics in other courses.”
